There are a number of key policies Menzies was renowned for.

The first was his attempt to ban the Communist Party. This failed at referendum but split the Labor Party and assured his continued hold on power. His conservative social agenda including continuing White Australia policy also ensured that Australia was prosperous but predominately European looking during the 50's. Another was bringing Australia into the war in Vietnam and using National Servicemen for service overseas - using precedent from Curtin in WW2.
